Re: Fake Posters Thread 2014

That poster is missing Nicholas Jaar. He NEEDS to play next year. His Boiler Room set is insane!

Re: Fake Posters Thread 2014

Shoegazechella would be a dream! I'd LOVE for Lush to play but the Emma article in Consequence of Sound where they say they tried through three agents to play Coachella and came back with "Coachella did not like Lush, I can tell you that now, so that is why we’ve never been on Coachella." is pretty damning. Though that's pretty hard to believe unless Miki once spit on Paul Tollett or something? The no Daft Punk thing is pretty odd especially if NERD is playing.

Definitely third line considering the stature of this year's second liners. Maybe if Coachella had been their first comeback performance or if next year isn't as stacked. A divisive new album and "live" show don't help.

Re: Fake Posters Thread 2014

Don't forget how weird this year's real poster was. Metric had a lower billing this year than in 2008 despite being much more popular now and having a main stage promotion. It happens when lineups are more stacked. Looks like every act listed before Empire is just as/more popular or some rare reunion. As much as I want to see them play, Tears for Fears have been playing casinos and state fairs for years now, not headlining and subheadlining world class festivals after disappearing for seven years like New Order, so they are not in any way on the same level.

I don't keep up with EDM really, but I don't see why these dome vets and small fonters couldn't do the Yuma. Carl Cox is a tricky one. Like Hawtin, he seems way too big to do it, but not so much among the current Sahara crowd.

For what it's worth, I bet it was more like "Coachella did not want to pay us what we needed/wanted to play" rather than a flat out "We don't want Lush at our festival."

They have to sell to 90,000 per weekend, which is well over twice the budget they had 7-8 years ago.

Weirdly, I don't think the 2013 lineup will be as revered as some of the earlier lineups for several reasons - some GV's fault, some not.
